Resident work and storm restrictions
Do not push, blow or shovel snow onto the road. Place it on your property or the boulevard. Keep nearby hydrants and drains clear and leave plows room.
Town sidewalk/pathway plowing begins at 5 cm for school, transit and major pedestrian routes. This does not remove the resident 24-hour sidewalk obligation. Ordinary driveway windrows are the homeowner’s job; separate help exists for eligible seniors and people with disabilities.
Storms suspend street-parking exceptions, and obstructing cars can be towed or ticketed. The storm lots below permit 48-hour parking while street parking is suspended. The separate $60 monthly park pilot is not the same emergency permission.
